Chapter 516: Getting Started

On May 10 and May 14, Ajax played two league games at home in a row, the opponents were Utrecht and Volendam, although Van Gaal still sent a rotating lineup, but recently Ajax won consecutive battles, and the momentum was flourishing, so they still won these two games, the score against Utrecht was 2 to 1, and the score against Volendam was 4 to 1, Ding Hongxing scored one goal in each of these two games, and his goals in the league reached 39, only one short of 40, The next league game will be away to arch-rivals Feyenoord on 18 May.

Ajax's game against Feyenoord has been the focus of every season, and Ding Hongxing reached 39 goals just before this game and can score 40 goals at any time, which is a milestone number that makes this game even more remarkable.

The whole Feyenoord team has begun to gear up, claiming that they will never let Ding Hongxing score 40 goals in this game, and they do have a reason to do so, not to mention that Ajax is their sworn enemy, even if it is not a sworn enemy, they don't want Ding Hongxing to score 40 goals in the game against them, otherwise when fans talk about Ding Hongxing's 40 goals in the future, they will think of Feyenoord, and the taste of being a background board is not so pleasant.

The Eredivisie is coming to an end, and this season's Premier League season is over, Blackburn Rovers drew in the last round, one point ahead of Manchester United, and won the thrilling title, while Manchester United's two consecutive titles after the establishment of the Premier League were suspended, but this is not the biggest news in the Premier League these days.

The biggest news in the Premier League is that Xinghai Investment Company from Hong Kong spent 5 million pounds to buy Manchester City, and the owner of Xinghai Investment, Lin Yaozu, a son of the Hong Kong Lin family, has become the new chairman of Manchester City Club.

This is the first English football club to be acquired by businessmen from the East, as soon as the news was announced, it immediately provoked a strong reaction, after the news was announced, Manchester City Club held a press conference, reporters flocked to it, many of them are from Hong Kong and Chinese mainland reporters, Chinese mainland reporters are most concerned about Manchester City Club has a plan to introduce Chinese players.

If Ding Hongxing is present, he will definitely smile, this kind of question is the favorite question of Chinese reporters, as long as a European club has a little Chinese background, they will get to the bottom and ask the other party whether they will bring in Chinese players, as if they are committing some heinous crime by not introducing Chinese players.

Lin Yaozu took reporters' questions calmly, he just smiled and revealed that the club does have plans to introduce Chinese players, but the time is not yet ripe, so it is not yet time to make an announcement, please pay attention to the club's recent developments.

Lin Yaozu said in a vague manner, which aroused the appetite of reporters, but they didn't think of Ding Hongxing yet, because this is in the Premier League, and the Premier League needs a labor certificate to introduce foreign aid, and to apply for a labor certificate, you must be a member of the national team, and the number of games must meet certain conditions, Ding Hongxing obviously does not meet this condition.

As for the special talent rule, it has only been implemented by the FA for less than two months, and no club has yet used this clause, so everyone has not thought of it at all, and they guess which Chinese international Manchester City club will bring in according to their inertial thinking.

Lin Yaozu also introduced several new members of Manchester City Club, Ouyang Wanjie, head of the administration department, Cheng Zhenyuan, head of the finance department, and Liao Minghua, head of the business department.

The first two are Lin Yaozu's old team in Hong Kong, they are both very capable young people, and Liao Minghua is also a heroic young man, they can be said to have changed the old face of Manchester City Club in the past.

These newcomers are very young, and Lin Yaozu himself is only in his early thirties, they are all an enterprising image, which makes many reporters secretly say that Manchester City is only afraid that it is not the Manchester City of the past, and the Premier League will be eventful since then.

In addition to these department heads, the original employees of these departments are retained, they do not have access to the core of the club, it is just a job to do things for money, and there is nothing to retain, and they are all Manchester locals, it is always good for the club to stay.

After the change of ownership of Manchester City, Lin Yaozu asked the staff to inform most of the players in the first team that they were not in the team's plans for next season, and now they can go freely to find a home, and the club will not put too many obstacles on the transfer fee, as long as there is a team with a reasonable transfer fee, the club will let them go.

In fact, these players also know that the results of the Manchester City team this season are really unacceptable, twenty-two teams, they are only ranked seventeenth, but they will be relegated, and the Premier League will be reduced to twenty teams next season, if it is still like this, it is not uncommon for Manchester City to be relegated next season, so it is normal for the club's new owner to change blood after taking office, which is also a football practice.

With such psychological preparation, they didn't say much, and they went to find their next home, they are also players who have played in the Premier League for a few seasons, and it may be difficult to find a Premier League team, but it is always more than enough to find a League One team, although they can't afford to pay a high price, but the club also said that they will not set any obstacles to their transfer fees, if they can't find any suitable next home, it can only show that he himself is too bad.

For the players who Ding Hongxing ticked, Lin Yaozu also sent staff to reassure them, which roughly means that they will be in the team's plan for next season, let them take a good vacation, and prepare for next season's game.

The few players left by Ding Hongxing are basically the main players of the Manchester City team this season, and they were also panicked and felt that their future next season was uncertain, but now they have settled down after listening to such words.

Lim also put 15 million pounds into the club's account, of which 10 million pounds will be transferred for next season and 5 million pounds will be used for the club's operating funds, which has also increased the confidence of the club's shareholders and employees.

Lin Yaozu is extremely capable, and within a few days after he took over the club, he made all the relationships of Manchester City Club clear, and Manchester City Club got on the right track as quickly as possible and began to operate normally.
